smidump − dump SMI or SPPI modules in various formats |
smidump [ -Vhqusmk ] [ -c file ] [ -o name ] [ -p module ] [ -l level ] [ -f format ] module(s) |
The smidump program is used to dump the contents of a single MIB or PIB module or a collection of modules to stdout in a selectable output format. This format may be a simple tree of nodes, types or imported modules, but also a format fully compliant to SMIv1, SMIv2, SPPI or SMIng or CORBA IDL or C source code. Smidump can thus be used to convert modules from SMIv2 to SMIng and from SMIng to SMIv2, or to develop template based agent code. |
-V, --version |
Show the smidump version and exit. |
-h, --help |
Show a help text and exit. The help text contains a list of all supported output formats. |
-c file, --config=file |
Read file instead of any other (global and user) configuration file. |
-f format, --format=format |
Use format when dumping a module. Supported output formats are described below. The default output format is SMIng. The format argument is case insensitive. |
-l level, --level=level |
Report errors and warnings up to the given severity level. See the smilint(1) manual page for a description of the error levels. The default error level is 3. |
-s, --severity |
Show the error severity in brackets before error messages. |
-m, --error-names |
Show the error names in braces before error messages. |
-o name, --output=name |
Write the output in one or multiple files instead of stdout. The file name(s) are derived from the name argument. Not all format support this option. |
-p module, --preload=module |
Preload the module module before reading the main module(s). This may be helpful if an incomplete main module misses to import some definitions. |
-q, --quiet |
Suppress comments from dumped modules. What kind of information gets suppressed depends on the output format. |
-u, --unified |
Dump a unified output in case of multiple module(s) instead of multiple concatenated output sections. This is not supported for all output formats. |
-k, --keep-going |
Continue as much as possible after serious parse errors. Note that the output generated after serious parse errors may be incomplete and should be used with care. |
module(s) |
These are the module(s) to be dumped. If a module argument represents a path name (identified by containing at least one dot or slash character), this is assumed to be the exact file to read. Otherwise, if a module is identified by its plain module name, it is searched according to libsmi internal rules. See smi_config(3) for more details. |
The smidump program supports the following output formats: |
sming |
SMIng compliant format as defined in the SMIng Internet-Draft. |
|
smiv2 |
SMIv2 compliant format as defined in RFC 2578, RFC 2579, RFC 2580. |
|
smiv1 |
SMIv2 compliant format as defined in RFC 1155, RFC 1212, RFC 1215. |
|
sppi |
SPPI compliant format as defined in RFC 3159. If the underlying module is not SPPI, there might be some mandatory information missing. |
|
mosy |
Format generated by the mosy compiler. |
|
imports |
Import hierarchy of a module. |
|
types |
Types defined in a module. |
|
tree |
OID registration tree structure of a module. |
|
metrics |
Metrics derived from a module (experimental). |
|
identifiers |
List of identifiers defined in a module. |
|
compliances |
Compliance definitions with all included objects and notifications. |
|
corba |
CORBA IDL and OID definitions following the JIDM specification translation rules. |
|
netsnmp |
C source code files for usage within the net-snmp package (experimental). |
|
scli |
ANSI C manager stubs for usage within the scli package (experimental). |
|
cm |
Reverse engineered conceptual model in DIA XML file format (experimental). |
|
svg |
SVG diagram of a module (experimental). Use with -u when dumping multiple modules. |
|
jax |
Java AgentX sub-agent classes in separate files (experimental). |
|
perl |
Perl represention of the MIB module (contributed by Martin Schulz <schulz@videotron.ca>). |
|
python |
Python dictionaries represention of the MIB module (contributed by Pat Knight <pat@ktgroup.co.uk>). |
|
xml |
SMI in XML format (experimental). |
|
xsd |
SMI in XML schema format (experimental). |
|
sizes |
SNMP best case / worst case RFC 3416 PDU sizes for typical PDUs excluding SNMP message and transport headers (experimental). |
This example converts the SMIv2 module IF-MIB in the current directory to IF-MIB.sming in SMIng format. Note that the ./ prefix is used to ensure reading the module from the current directory and not from a place that libsmi guesses on its own. $ smidump -f sming ./IF-MIB > IF-MIB.sming |
